The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (BSAE) program at ERAU equips students with skills to solve even the most complex challenges in design, propulsion, and systems for aircraft and/or supercraft. For the past 16 years, the Aerospace Engineering undergraduate program at Embry-Riddle has held the top ranking in the nation among schools whose highest degree is a bachelor’s, according to U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Colleges Guide. The prestige of this program doesn’t end there. Students benefit from the most modern, state-of-the-art resources available today — the same tools in use by aerospace engineering professionals around the globe. No other Aerospace Engineering program in the United States attracts more students. Students gain hands-on experience from the start, with opportunities to participate in various projects and competitions. The program offers the chance to learn real-world, on-the-job engineering principles practiced by global companies and government agencies, enabling students to build a professional network within their first year. The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering program requires successful completion of a minimum of 129 credit hours. The program may be completed in eight semesters assuming appropriate background and full-time enrollment. Select from three tracks: Aeronautics, Astronautics, or Propulsion. First-year students must complete the College of Engineering’s Freshman Engineering Program before continuing with their Aerospace Engineering courses. Prior to entering the Freshman Engineering Program, a student should demonstrate competence in science and mathematics, including a proficiency in algebra and trigonometry, and be prepared to enter Calculus I.

Embry-Riddle’s BSAE graduates enjoy an extremely high job placement rate after graduation (96% of graduates are employed or have chosen to go on to higher education within a year of graduating). Students credit Embry-Riddle with excellent preparation for real-world job demands.
